Research and Planning - adverts: Analysing Adverts & Conventions

A magazine advert firstly, is a print media which is used to market and sell a product. Identifying the generic conventions of a magazine advert is crucial during any stages of creating any magazine advert as the different conventions determine the success of the advert. Creating a magazine advert which follows the generic conventions will allow it to relate to the target audience, as well as making it visually appealing thus improving the artist's star image.

Generic conventions of a magazine advert:

  • Audience Information
  • Main image
  • Title of Album
  • Artist Name
  • Featuring song
  • Record label logo
  • Release Date
  • Previous Achievements


Conclusion
Looking at similar magazine adverts of similar artist has allowed me to identify the generic conventions of a magazine advert. This has helped me with the creation of my own magazine advert as I now know what features to implement in order to compliment my artist and promote his star image whilst being visually appealing towards he audience.

  1. Good to see that you have analysed some comparable products from the same genre as your single.

    To improve,
    -the analysis is not very clear, maybe bullet point some of the key ideas
    -state at the end what conevntions you now plan to use from your research activity into existing products
